A BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.

A case of some interest has* just been tried in the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice. Mies Emma Eva Partridge daughter of a substantial Devonshire -farmer, sued Mr Eichard "Woonsnam, a commercial traveller, for violating Jbis plighted troth. There was no doubt whatever about the original promise, but ap. parently Mr "Woonsnam saw sqmebqdy he liked better, and hastened to be on with th,e new love wjfch a celerity and we may add, a . faithleasnesß which deterved all the punishment it has received.. It was in the courge of a NPPy.day in Epping Forest the engaged couple managed to fall out. Mr Woonsnam's ungallant account of the affair was that Miss Partridge eyincejd a liking for the ' flowing bowl," which jarred upon his pre-matrimonial notions of what was fitting and proper. Three glasses of beer, a glass of pdff, °fe of gin and cold water, two more glasses of beer, two glasses of cherry, and a bottle of stout were all laid to the charge of tbe young lady in ques tion by her former lover. Down to' the second giaas of sherry he had treated her he avowed, AB "one whom he loved, but that second glaBS proved too much for his feelings. It is comforUng to find that the jury did not believe much of big story, or, at all events, saw m it.no sufficient reason why a man should break his plighted troth ; on the contrary, they gave five hundred pounds by way of compensation for a broken heart, and added a rider to the effect that the rustic damsel left the Court " without a stain on her character." Miss Partridge may therefore console herself for the loss of her suitor by the verdict of the jury.
